Automation Specialist · Small Teams & Startups
Reporting, documents, workflows — if your team is doing it manually, there's a good chance it can be automated. I build reliable systems for founders and ops teams who can't afford to keep doing things the slow way.
Sound familiar?
Proof of work
These are not demos. Both are real engagements with documented results.
The problem
One person manually building pivot tables for 35 projects every week. Two full days to produce reports. By the time managers saw the data, the window to act had already closed. Training completion sat at 60% for years.
What I built
An end-to-end pipeline — data arrives by email, gets processed automatically, metrics computed, PDF reports generated per project manager, and a conditional-formatted leadership summary sent — all in under 10 minutes. Built within locked-down enterprise infrastructure with no cloud access or API permissions. Delivered in 4–5 days.
"The right people getting the right information at the right time changed what they did with it."
— Outcome acknowledged by Insurance & Capital Markets head
The problem
Three staff members manually extracting data from 150+ supplier PDFs — scanned images, inconsistent formats, different layouts across every document. A growing backlog meant the app's data was outdated, directly costing the business clients.
What I built
Two systems: an OCR pipeline (Python + Tesseract) that extracted structured data from scanned PDFs automatically, and a custom Excel interface with one-click macros that reduced database population from 378 person-hours per document to 2–3 hours. I taught myself the tools on the job. The client didn't ask for automation — I identified it and built it.

What I can build for you
Every system is built for production — not demos. Reliable, auditable, and designed to keep running without you babysitting it.
Data arrives from any source — email, Excel, database, API. Your reports are generated, formatted, and delivered to the right people automatically. No manual exports, no delays.
Best for: Teams with weekly/monthly reporting cycles eating staff time
Multi-step business processes — lead handling, onboarding, approvals, notifications — running automatically end to end. Built with proper error handling and audit logging.
Best for: Ops teams managing repetitive, multi-step processes manually
PDFs, scanned documents, supplier sheets with inconsistent formats — structured and extracted automatically. Handles image-based documents, mixed layouts, and high volume.
Best for: Businesses with large document backlogs or ongoing intake
Systems that detect risk before it becomes a problem — cost overruns, SLA breaches, performance drops — and alert the right people automatically with context, not just raw data.
Best for: Project-driven businesses where late visibility is costly
Turn WhatsApp into a controlled business interface — inventory lookups, coupon issuance, status checks — with validation, logging, and deterministic responses. No chatbot guessing.
Best for: Retail, hospitality, and distribution teams already using WhatsApp
Clean, reliable data pipelines feeding Power BI dashboards that reflect reality — not stale exports. Built with proper data modelling, deduplication, and automated refresh.
Best for: Leaders who need trusted, always-current visibility
How I work
No long discovery phases. No vague timelines. Most systems are scoped, built, and delivered within 1–2 weeks.
30 minutes. You walk me through the manual process. I ask specific questions. No sales pitch.
Clear scope, timeline, and fixed price. You know exactly what you're getting before any work starts.
I build with production constraints in mind — error handling, logging, reliability. Not demo-grade code.
You get a working system, documentation, and a walkthrough. No black boxes. No dependency on me to run it.
